Marie-Mai – don’t ask who that is, please! – has teamed up with West Island-bred rocker Jonas for an anthemic new single Jamais trop tard. The new was announced Sunday via Marie-Mai’s Twitter feed and the single is at all the usual local radio suspects now. The Star Académie alumnus channels her inner rock-chick self on this rocking number.

And there’s a brand-new Marie-Mai studio album coming May 12. Originally the singer had planned to release a greatest hits album in May to mark the 10th anniversary of her career. But “overtaken with a wave of inspiration” – so says the press release! – she ended up coming with a whole new album.

The album will hit stores – and digital platforms – around the same time she headlines two shows at the Bell Centre, May 2 and 3. Incredibly enough, those are her 11th and 12th shows at the Canadiens arena since the start of her career.

And the new song? Hey it’s catchy enough. But my first thought is this – can someone please buy Jonas a shirt with sleeves? Enough with the tattooed biceps. :)
